Promotion.
I'm not sure there are two more divisive words in American soccer right now (well, PRO referees is a close second).
People have a whole lot of thoughts on it, both for it and against it. I totally get it.
In fact it was suggested that when I wrote my thoughts on it in January that I need to be careful with it. (NOTE: if you have not figured this out yet, we are not afraid to write what we feel and tackle difficult topics). I have never been afraid to post tough topics or write what I feel is important and I encourage the writers at the Wave write what they feel.
